The Summer Girl

Lyrics

I’ve got five weeks with this girl and I will
Spend my time making her smile
Five weeks, just a summer fling
Laptop movies with the car in park
Slow-dance in the rain after dark
Life is a movie starring you and me

So let’s go, before it’s too late
We’ll go down the shore and stare up in space
And forget how bad the timing is
And let the waves take us away
Cuz it’s the last song, the last dance
The finale of a hopeless romance
When I’m with you I’m on top of the world
When I’m with my summer girl

I’ve got music on and no one around
I’ll kiss you in my car until it shuts down
Your smile can light the way home
And we’ve got one week left before this thing is over
So many places still to show her
Let’s chase the sunset so tomorrow can’t come

So let’s go, before it’s too late
We’ll go down the shore and stare up in space
And forget how bad the timing is
And let the waves take us away
Cuz it’s the last song, the last dance
The finale of a hopeless romance
When I’m with you I’m on top of the world
Oh you’re so much more than just a summer girl

And now here at the summer’s end, under your front porch light
We don’t say “goodbye,” we just stick with “goodnight”
Just hoping, hoping that we’ve still got some time left on the clock
So for now, that other word is still tumbling around in my head
Stuck on spin cycle with all the other things left unsaid
I hope they get out before you’re gone

It’s one thirty am and I’m cruising slow
Humming with the slow songs on the radio
I’ve got one hand on the wheel
And one holding hers, whoa

So let’s go, before it’s too late
We’ll go down the shore and stare up in space
And forget how bad the timing is
And let the waves take us away
Cuz it’s the last song, the last dance
The finale of a hopeless romance
I’m on top of the world when I’m with you
Oh how I wish you could be my fall girl too
Oh, my summer girl
